He Ting also regretted not having looked through the bicycle carefully to see if he could find any good things from the recycling station. He immediately agreed with Lu Baiwei's decision and pushed his bicycle towards the scrap recycling station not far away.

This time He Ting didn't find the discarded broken tiles and jars. After all, people would keep the bowls and jars without cracks to store things and would not throw them away casually.

But when he was helping Lu Baiwei find her high school textbooks, he found a torn copybook and a painting with a missing corner.

Looking at the seals on the calligraphy and paintings, He Ting's eyes lit up.

The name on the seal was indeed that of an unpopular calligrapher, but he happened to have hung out with Grandpa Zhou for some time and had actually seen something of the same kind. If what he got was authentic, it could be traced back to the Song Dynasty.

Even if it is a replica, it is worth some money.

He Ting immediately collected the calligraphy and paintings, as well as the high school textbooks he had found for Lu Baiwei, and walked to the entrance of the waste recycling station to show them to the old man guarding the gate.

The old man thought he was picking up only some old papers and paintings and didn't count his money. He asked for fifty cents for the high school textbook that Lu Baiwei found.

The joy of finding a bargain is indescribable.

The two came out of the recycling station, put the things into the basket, and couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

The things Lu Baiwei got from the hospital, as well as books and jars, filled the two baskets that He Ting hung on the back seat of his bicycle.

When returning to Xiangyang Brigade from the county town, Lu Baiwei could only sit on the front bar of He Ting's bicycle.

Lu Baiwei had sat on the front bumper of He Ting's bicycle before.

The last time she came to the county town in the dark to sell medicinal herbs, because she called Yin Zhihe in her dream, He Ting had a cold face and kept her in front and at a certain distance.

This time, the two of them had no grudges against each other, and coupled with the beauty created by distance, the couple were very close to each other after reuniting after a short separation.

She didn't even know whether He Ting did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he always rested his chin on her shoulder, his chest was very close to her back, the strong smell of hormones was approaching, and his face was pressed against the side of her neck.

Not only her back, Lu Baiwei felt like her whole body was burning, and she couldn't help but push He Ting's face with her hand.

His wife put her hand on his face, and He Ting laughed muffledly while pedaling his bicycle.

Lu Baiwei was annoyed: "What are you laughing at?"

"Weiwei, you're blushing."

He Ting said in a low voice: "My wife looks pretty when she's shy."

He Ting rested his head against her neck and spoke to her. The word "wife" lingering in her ears seemed to have pierced her eardrum and continued to extend downwards, making Lu Baiwei's heart tingle.

The last time he was scratched by a wolf, she took care of him in the hospital all night, and their relationship made rapid progress.

He Ting keeps teasing her like this, and Lu Baiwei really can't stand it.

She was lost in thoughts all the way. She was now the barefoot doctor of the brigade. The room outside the clinic had to be vacated to be used as a consulting room, and the bed where He Ting lived had to be vacated as well. In the future, if any member of the team fainted and came to see a doctor, they would need a place to lie down and rest.

How can we bring this up so that it will go smoothly?

After doing a lot of psychological preparation, when it came time to really ask He Ting to move, even someone as reserved as Lu Baiwei couldn't bring herself to say it.

The couple returned to their home, and Lu Baiwei was busy setting up the clinic and placing the medicines and equipment she had received from the hospital into the cabinet.

He Ting helped on the side.

After working until dark, Lu Baiwei went into the kitchen to make dinner for He Ting.

During the half month that Lu Baiwei was interning at the county hospital, He Ting later followed Zhou Yanfeng's example and ate at Lu Baiwei's third aunt's house.

Of course, her third aunt refused to accept food expenses, so He Ting, like Zhou Yanfeng, would sell meat and buy food to send over.

I haven't cooked at home for some time.

Lu Baiwei planned dinner for the two of them, and simply cooked some noodles and made some noodles with soybean sauce and egg.

The soy sauce eggs for the noodles were ready and the noodles were put into the pot. Lu Baiwei asked He Ting to watch over the boiling noodles while she went to the backyard to pick onions.

With He Ting taking care of it, the vegetable garden in the backyard looks well established.

The vegetable seedlings that she brought from her eldest uncle and third uncle's homes were growing well, and the garden was lush and green. He Ting, a novice in vegetable growing, even cut some bamboo and inserted it into the vegetable garden as a fence at the suggestion of his cousin Tang Yuanliang.

The newly planted bitter melon and bean vines are already climbing up the bamboo fence.

Lu Baiwei pinched a few pieces of well-growing green onions and was startled to see a patterned creature jumping out of the vegetable patch. When she saw clearly that it was a pine snake, Lu Baiwei was delighted. Not only was she not afraid, but she grabbed the snake by the waist and threw it heavily to the ground.

After knocking the snake unconscious, Lu Baiwei not only figured out how to cook the pine snake, but also seemed to have found a way to ask He Ting to move.

Grabbing the green onion in one hand and the snake in the other, Lu Baiwei walked into the kitchen, passed by the window of the room where she lived, and threw the snake in her hand directly through the window.

After throwing the snake away, he grabbed the green onion in his hand and went back to the kitchen.

He Ting had already scooped up the cooked noodles and poured the egg sauce prepared by Lu Baiwei on them. Lu Baiwei chopped up some green onions and sprinkled them on top. Two bowls of fragrant egg sauce noodles were ready.

Just like when they first got married, He Ting went to the stream to fetch water after dark and boiled water for Lu Baiwei to take a bath.

After boiling water and taking a bath, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Lu Baiwei closed the door of the inner room without any reluctance. He Ting's expectant eyes became dim and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

This was destined to be a sleepless night. He Ting tossed and turned in the bed in the outer room. He finally fell into a light sleep and just closed his eyes when he heard a scream from the inner room where Lu Baiwei lived.

"Weiwei, what's wrong with you?"

He Ting jumped down from the bed and rushed into the inner room.

With the help of the flashlight, he could clearly see a spotted snake clinging to the pole that Lu Baiwei used to support the mosquito net, spitting out its tongue.

He Ting picked up a carrying pole from the corner of the house, picked up the snake and hit it with the head of the carrying pole, and the snake fell silent.

"Okay, don't be afraid, Weiwei."

Lu Baiwei looked terrified.

He Ting stood by the bed, hugged her, and gently stroked her back to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, the snake has been killed."

Lu Baiwei lay in his arms and nodded her head, with tears in her eyes when she looked up.

"But I'm still scared."

She shuddered slightly. "The snake just spit its tongue at me and almost got into the mosquito net and bit me."

"I heard that snakes are the most vengeful animals."

"You killed the snake. I won't dream of the dead snake entangled me at night, right?"

Knowing that Lu Baiwei was sweet and soft, He Ting held her in his arms, with her head restlessly nodding around. He Ting felt even more deeply about this sweetness and softness.

After following Tang Yuanliang into the mountains several times, He Ting is no longer the rookie educated youth from Beijing.

In addition to learning how to hunt, he had seen many poisonous insects, rats and ants in the mountains, and recognized that the one climbing on the pole of Lu Baiwei's mosquito net was a non-venomous pine snake.

Tang Yuanliang told him that this kind of snake is not only non-venomous, but also has very tender meat.

It’s perfect when stewed with chicken!

He also learned from Tang Yuanliang that not only Tang Yunling was not afraid of snakes, but his wife Lu Baiwei was not afraid of them either.

When she was a child, she followed her grandfather to the mountains to collect herbs and learned how to catch snakes and make medicinal wine.

A pine snake was so frightened that it kept pushing itself into his arms with tears in its eyes.

He Ting couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It's quite interesting to see how hard his Vivi tries to act.
